Every member of the Off the Ball team lives and breathes football and hurling, and we have secured another all-star panel that will help us deliver the very best GAA coverage.

“Throughout the 2015 season Off the Ball will be broadcasting seven days a week, supported by live reports and commentary from Championship games, bringing keen insights and analysis to provide listeners with the best coverage on radio and on Newstalk.com.”

Newstalk’s 2014 GAA coverage included three provincial finals and two quarter finals.

Speaking at today’s launch, Aogán Ó Fearghail, President of the GAA, said, “Newstalk is an important media partner of the GAA, and their coverage of our Championship games is comprehensive. Newstalk delivers media coverage of the highest standard, and we look forward to continuing our relationship for the 2015 Championship.”
